STANTON REMEMnERrD men.

The wife of Justice Field lately told
this little story about Edwin NJ. Stan
ton, the War Secretary. In the first
days of the war Mrs. Field gave a din
ner party and the Secretary was one OF
the guests. The ladies at the table,
one by one, began 60 ask favors of the
head of the then most powerful depart
ment Of the Government Mr.. Stanton
listened but made no reply, and en-
couraged none. Finally he turned TO
the hostess and said: "Mrs. Field,
have you nothing 10 ask for?" She
had not spoken, and had not thought
of anything she desired at his hands.
But she answered, "when | have a
favor TO ask il will be for brave and
deserving officer" The next morning
an orderly called at Justice Fields
house, with this message from the
Secretary: "Will Mrs Field kindly
name the officer TO whom she referred
last evening" After searching her
memory she thought OF young lieu
tenant buried at post where neither
glory nor danger was within reach.
The orderly went back with the note
OF thanks and the young mans name.
That lieutenant came out OF the war a
Major General.

the habit Of pressing the trigger at Just

quickly and raise the barrel until the
sights are in line with the mark, pressing
the trigger as 500 as you see them IN

counting three like the tick OF n CLOCK.
With practice the rifle will come into po-
sition instantly, the eye will telegraph to
the foreflnger that the aim is right and
the finger will press the trigger uncon-

shooting can do more accurate work ut

the bulls eye as rapidly as the gun can lie
fired. Try for accuracy first and rapidity
by degrees. 1t is well TO vary the mark
and not shoot at a round black bulls eye
all the time. Fire at swinging balls, sus.
pended bullets, white objects, things Of
irregular shape and neutral color, and
then have somebody toss up balls or blocks

is not so difficult to hit glass balls in the
air as some people fancy. That kind OF
shooting. MS performed in the shows, is
nothing hut a fake. The ball is thrown
from an old fashioned BoGardus trap, that
losses it easily and on just the Same curve
every time. The shooter draws a bead on
a certain point on the screen, and when
the ball comes into line he lets her 60.

and he adopted the shot cartridge finally.
No man with a bit OF sense in his head
would fire rifle bullets around as Buffalo
Bill pretends to do. He might kill some
body a mile OF after smashing a glass bal
